SYSTEM OVERVIEW
This presentation broadly outlines how a basic or Conventional Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system operates.
The Electronic Fuel Injection system can be divided into three basic sub-systems. These are the :
o Fuel delivery system
o Air induction system, and the
o Electronic control system.
Fuel Delivery System
Fuel Delivery System The fuel delivery system consists of the fuel tank, fuel
pump, fuel filter, fuel delivery pipe (fuel rail), fuel injector, fuel pressure regulator, and fuel return pipe.
Fuel is delivered from the tank to the injector by means of
an electric fuel pump. The pump is typically located in or
near the fuel tank. Contaminants are filtered out by a high
capacity in line fuel filter.
Fuel Delivery System
Fuel is maintained at a constant pressure by means
of a fuel pressure regulator. Any fuel which is not
delivered to the intake manifold by the injector is
returned to the tank through a fuel return pipe.
The Air Induction System
The Air Induction System
The air induction system consists of the air cleaner,
air flow meter, throttle valve, air intake chamber,
intake manifold runner, and intake valve.
When the throttle valve is opened, air flows through
the air cleaner, through the air flow meter (on L type
systems), past the throttle valve, and through a well
tuned intake manifold runner to the intake valve.
The Air Induction System
Air delivered to the engine is a function of driver
demand. As the throttle valve is opened further, more
air is allowed to enter the engine cylinders.
Toyota engines use two different methods to measure
intake air volume. The L type EFI system measures
air flow directly by using an air flow meter. The D type
EFI system measures air flow indirectly by monitoring
the pressure in the intake manifold.
Electronic Control System
Electronic Control System The electronic control system consists of various
engine sensors, Electronic Control Unit (ECU), fuel injector assemblies, and related wiring.
The ECU determines precisely how much fuel needs to be delivered by the injector by monitoring the engine sensors.
The ECU turns the injectors on for a precise amount of time, referred to as injection pulse width or injection duration, to deliver fuel so that the proper air/fuel ratio is delivered to the engine.
Basic System Operation
Air enters the engine through the air induction system where
it is measured by the air flow meter. As the air flows into the
cylinder, fuel is mixed into the air by the fuel injector.
Fuel injectors are arranged in the intake manifold behind
each intake valve. The injectors are electrical solenoids
which are operated by the ECU.
The ECU pulses the injector by switching the injector ground
circuit on and off.
Basic System Operation
When the injector is turned on, it opens, spraying
atomized fuel at the back side of the intake valve.
As fuel is sprayed into the intake air stream, it mixes with
the incoming air and vaporizes due to the low pressures
in the intake manifold. The ECU signals the injector to
deliver just enough fuel to achieve an ideal air/fuel ratio
of 14.7:1, often referred to as stoichiometric ratio.
Basic System Operation
The precise amount of fuel delivered to the engine is a
function of ECU control. The ECU determines the basic
injection quantity based upon measured intake air volume
and engine rpm.
Depending on engine operating conditions, injection
quantity will vary. The ECU monitors variables such as
coolant temperature, engine speed, throttle angle, and
exhaust oxygen content and makes injection corrections
which determine final injection quantity.
Advantages of EFI
Uniform Air/Fuel Mixture Distribution. Each cylinder has its own
injector which delivers fuel directly to the intake valve. This
eliminates the need for fuel to travel through the intake manifold,
improving cylinder to cylinder distribution.
Highly Accurate Air/Fuel Ratio Control. Throughout all engine
operating conditions EFI supplies a continuously accurate air/fuel
ratio to the engine no matter what operating conditions are
encountered. This provides better drive-ability, fuel economy, and
emissions control.
Advantages of EFI Superior Throttle Response and Power. By delivering fuel
directly at the back of the intake valve, the intake manifold design
can be optimized to improve air velocity at the intake valve. This
improves torque and throttle response.
Excellent Fuel Economy. With Improved Emissions Control, cold
engine and wide open throttle enrichment can be reduced with an
EFI engine because fuel puddling in the intake manifold is not a
problem. This results in better overall fuel economy and improved
emissions control.
Advantages of EFI
Improved Cold Engine Start ability. The combination of better
fuel atomization and injection directly at the intake valve improves
ability to start and run a cold engine.
Simpler Mechanics, Reduced Adjustment Sensitivity. The EFI
system does not rely on any major adjustments for cold enrichment
or fuel metering. Because the system is mechanically simple,
maintenance requirements are reduced.
Toyota Computer Control System (TCCS)
With the introduction of the Toyota Computer Control System (TCCS), the EFI system went from a simple fuel control system to a fully integrated engine and emissions management system.
Although the fuel delivery system operates the same as Conventional EFI, the TCCS Electronic Control Unit (ECU) also controls ignition spark angle. Additionally, TCCS also regulates an Idle Speed Control device, an Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Vacuum Switching Valve and, depending on application, other engine related systems.
Toyota Computer Control System (TCCS)
Electronic Spark Advance (ESA). The EFI/TCCS system regulates spark advance angle by monitoring engine operating conditions, calculating the optimum spark timing, and firing the spark plug at the appropriate time.
Idle Speed Control (ISC). The EFI/TCCS system regulates engine idle speed by means of several different types of ECU controlled devices. The ECU monitors engine operating conditions to determine which idle speed strategy to use.
Toyota Computer Control System (TCCS)
Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR). The EFI/TCCS system regulates the periods under which EGR can be introduced to the engine. This control is accomplished through the use of an EGR Vacuum Switching Valve.
TCCS Electronic Control Unit (ECU) also controls ignition spark angle. Additionally, TCCS also regulates an Idle Speed Control device, an Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Vacuum Switching Valve and, depending on application, other engine related systems.
Toyota Computer Control System (TCCS)
Other Engine Related Systems. In addition to the major systems just described, the TCCS ECU often operates an Electronically Controlled Transmission (ECT), a Variable Induction System (T-VIS), the air conditioner compressor clutch, and the turbocharger/supercharger.
Self Diagnosis System
A self diagnosis system is incorporated into all TCCS Electronic Control Units (ECUs) and into some Conventional EFI system ECUs. A Conventional EFI engine equipped with self diagnostics is a P7/EFI system.
This diagnostic system uses an engine warning lamp in the combination meter which is capable of warning the driver when specific faults are detected in the engine control system. The engine light is also capable of flashing a series of diagnosis codes to assist the technician in troubleshooting these faults.
SummaryThe Electronic Fuel Injection system consists of three basic subsystems:-
The electronic control system determines basic injection quantity based upon electrical signals from the air flow meter and engine rpm.
The fuel delivery system maintains a constant fuel pressure on the injector. This allows the ECU to control the fuel injection duration and deliver the appropriate amount of fuel for engine operating conditions.
Summary The EFI system allows for improved engine
performance, better fuel economy, and improved emissions control. Although technologically advanced, the EFI system is mechanically simpler than other fuel metering systems and requires very little maintenance or periodic adjustment.
Summary The air induction system delivers air to the engine
based on driver demand. The air/fuel mixture is formed in the intake manifold as air moves through the intake runners.
The Conventional EFI system only controls fuel delivery and injection quantity. The introduction of EFI/TCCS added control Of Electronic Spark Advance, idle speed, EGR, and other related engine systems.
Summary
Most of Toyota's late model EFI systems are equipped with some type of on board diagnosis system. All TCCS systems are equipped with an advanced self diagnosis system capable of monitoring many important engine electrical circuits. Only some of the later production Conventional (P7) EFI engines are equipped with a self diagnosis system.

What Does a Solar Cell Do?
The solar panel converts sunlight to electrical energy.
Sunlight shines on the solar panel
…which is transmitted through gears to the car’s wheels. Whenever there is enough sunlight, the car will move.
The motor converts electrical energy to mechanical energy...
This solar panel on this car can be adjusted so it faces the sun.The sun is in a different positionin the sky at different times of the day and at different places.
Solar cells do not store solar energy. When the solar panel is shaded, the wheels will not turn!
Fortunately, our planet has “learned” how to store solar energy! The leaves in these trees and the grass underneath them are using photosynthesis to grow. All vegetation is basically stored sunlight!
The paved street absorbs some solar energy and stores it as thermal energy. At night, the street will get cooler when its thermal energy is radiated back to the atmosphere.
